Had the day free and looked out window and found these. Early January. Mid Missouri. I have never seen them line up so perfectly and so close to Earth. What do you think?

Weather can do some amazing stuff, somtimes. :)

These were all the way across the sky. Yes, not very often.

Ask Win 43! Rather common to see them diced up like that out here on the Washington peninsula. We get them in white, orange, pink, and purple; respectively as the sun goes down in mid to late summer.

Bill, in central MO in winter it was a cool vision. I have not seen it very often here. We got sky. MO River and old bridge of KATY Trail.

I really like it when it's blue but I am glad to see I am not the only one walking around looking up. Thanks those are cool. David

Read some of this and it makes some sense,

I believe the clouds in the first picture are vapor trails from jets. I'm not suggesting that 50 jets went blazing across the sky at one time, but a common flight path over time at the same altitude will allow that to happen. Or then again they could be seeding the atmosphere to try to reverse global warming!! LOL!! Guess I listened to too much Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell when I was on the road!! They're out there, somewhere!!:thumbsup:

Hey ZOOK, kinda looks like a quilt. It is very surreal when it happens. Thanks for the shot.

wouldn't that be joni mitchell?

wouldn't that be joni mitchell? Could be any of a dozen singers who have done that song. But I believe Joni wrote it. Or was it Burt Bacharac?

definitely joni in 1969.

The clouds here in Washington are VERY thick and LOW flying :). In the first pic they were SO THICK.....I decided to take a walk on TOP of them :eek:.
In the second pic they are shown from underneath.

NOW I've REALLY " Looked at clouds from both sides now.":lol::D:lol:

Dats it! I knew Jerry would have photographic evidence sequestered.

When the sun starts to get low and the whole sky turns orange; it looks like a huge slab of smoked salmon.

Yummy! :wave:

speaking of orange skies.......ocean beach, san fran. (no photoshop just film)
and natures beauty. mj

That shot reminds me of those inspirational posters. Maybe it should say:

FISHING
There's a fine line between success and standing on the beach looking like an idiot.

Mine where opened in Pshop but never altered. It is my easiest way to save as a jpeg like the "bucket" likes for me and my photo sharing. David

This is unretouched. Talk about a sailor's :eek: delight!!!!! This was taken from my front deck (note the telephone lines in pic).

I'm not a seafood eater..let alone anything with scales on it. Can we refer to the color by something other than fish??? :tongue: Nice sunset Jerry!! Having travelled the 48 contiguous states gave me the opportunity to sample sunsets and skies all across the country. From the grey purple orange on the east coast, to the deep red sky of the mid west to those exact orange ones as you pictured.

What really amazed me was the mid west. Not a cloud in the sky and the amazing red hue still sticks in my mind. There was an abandoned church on US 30 in the west side of Ohio, and the silouette of it against a blood red sky is permanently etched in my brain cells. No camera at hand, I missed a perfect photo op. I tried to time myself dozens of times to get another shot at that picture, but could never get the timing right. (No place to pull over with a big truck to stake out the church for the perfect moment) The sun back lit the church perfectly, from the open, bell-less steeple, to the the glimmer of light through the mostly boarded up stained glass windows.

Needless to say, after that missed chance, I tried to have a camera readily available at all times, and it was usually out of film!! LOL

That does sound like it would have made one heck of a pic! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr
